Breathe

by @johanna-magdalena

Remember the city we called our own On the sidewalk next to millions feeling alone Looking at the world like it was new Remember the places we always went to Learning about things we didn´t know Walking in rain and snow with you Years they pass so fast once you grow up We've got time on our hands, but it's never enough I made so many plans but I wish we could stop, and breathe You're long gone now, but you used to mean so much to me Remember the feeling of happiness On the sidewalk walking away from anything less Looking at the future like it was clear Thinking that together we would make it there But love is not easy, and life is not fair The wind brushed the sidewalks until they were bare Years they pass so fast once you grow up We've got time on our hands, but it's never enough I made so many plans but I wish we could stop, and breathe You're long gone now, but you used to mean so much to me Remember the city we never owned But we knew each sidewalk and each memorial stone Treading on the past that we would soon become Looking at our reflection like we could be someone Learning about life as we tried to live Walking in rain and snow with so much to give Years they pass so fast once you grow up Our lives will not last, but we have done enough One of the things we should have learned, was to breathe You're long gone now, but you still mean so much to me
